No food for you

 Over 4 million people are no longer receiving food aid amid sweeping changes to SNAP. The largest food assistance program in the U.S. is undergoing a massive overhaul. But even before the most drastic changes take effect, more than 4 million people are estimated to have already lost the critical food aid between last July and April — many of whom are children.

BUT: The Republican majority in Congress along with the Republican President has found the money for the following projects:

During his second term, President Donald Trump initiated several beautification projects in Washington, DC, including a proposed $22.5 billion renovation at Washington Dulles International Airport, a 250-foot triumphal arch along the Potomac River, and a $600 million White House ballroom to replace the East Wing. The administration also completed a $16 million renovation of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, repainting it "American flag blue," and restored long-dormant fountains managed by the National Park Service. 

There will be the “arc de Trump, we had the MMA stadium built, then removed it, and the cost of replanting the White House lawn. Now the cost of Trump’s self-celebration of the 250th birthday of the nation, his Great State Fair, will be at taxpayer expense. The Qatari bribe, gifting Trump a new Air Force One, will be paid for by the taxpayer to retrofit the aircraft with all the safety features necessary for a president to fly.

The Iran war has cost the U.S. approximately $37.5 billion to date, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has requested an additional $87 billion for the Pentagon, with a significant portion allocated for operations in the Middle East.

The Republican Party INSISTS that they are Pro-Life and Pro-Family. They love to recite the rhetoric of their Bible, reading the words but never understanding the passages. But when it comes to their actual actions, the Republican Party is a callous, immoral, selfish, self-serving, banal bunch of puppets catering to the whims and wishes of a very sick, sad, insecure malignant narcissist.
